One of the most fun things we get to do as wedding photographers is photograph actual proposals!! Congrats Jamie and Graham!!

This past week I’ve been in Las Vegas for a wedding photography conference called #wppi2018. Last year we photographed Suzanne and James’ wedding back home in Chicago, and when I knew I was going to be visiting their town, I knew we had to do a shoot together. It was my first time in a desert, let alone hiking in general. I even got to meet their corgi Wrigley! Anyhow, it was great seeing you guys, can’t wait til I make it back! -Alain

Awesome light and fantastic temperatures for Jon & Cyn’s wedding last December!

Our clients absolutely love our signature champagne shoots! Did you know that all our packages come with a FREE engagement session? But what if you book us during the winter and need photos right away? Who wants to shoot an engagement session in this cold weather? Instead, add a champagne shoot to your package and save your full engagement shoot for the spring or summer!

Congratulations to all of you who got engaged over the holidays! We still have dates available for 2018, and are also booking 2019 right now. Send us a message to learn more about our services, plus receive a FREE engagement session with your wedding photography package!

We loved photographing Jenn and Kam on the grounds of the @ritzcarlton in Naples, FL this past November! The architecture provided incredibly dramatic lines for us to work with. Even with family photos, we like to use the same natural light techniques we employ when photographing lifestyle portraits of the bride and groom.

Claire and her girlfriends, just having a great time taking some photos. Keeping it light and fun, that’s how it should be on your wedding day! No stress here at Found Light Studios, that’s for sure.

As we close out 2017 tonight and look back at our most enjoyed photos, we want to send a huge thank you to all our fantastic clients and awesome vendor friends who entrusted us to create the spectacular images that will continue to represent that special day for each of our couples for years to come. Cheers to a prosperous and photo filled 2018!! 🍾🍾🥂🥂🎉🎉

This staircase is one of the most iconic wedding photo spots in Chicago, and made the perfect background for our architecture aficionado clients! 🏢

What do you do when you’re in a good friend’s wedding but still want to handle the photography? You put your best two guys on it that’s what. Thanks to AJ and Mike for doing a fantastic job with Cyn & Jon’s wedding a few weeks ago. Congrats you two!

We’ve noticed that @zula_kam loves hand smooches with @child_of_roth. Adorable.

Black Friday. Yep, we’re doing it too! Schedule a consultation with us this weekend through Sunday and take advantage of huge savings on your wedding photography package!

That light! The cuddles! The smooches! We can’t hardly even! 😵😍

Last week I️ had the privilege of photographing the wedding of literally my first real friend in high school, Jenn. They got married at the @ritzcarlton in Naples, FL, on the beach, on the most perfect day. Flanked by days of celebration, beach hangs, making new friends and remembering old faces, we couldn’t have been more thrilled to be a part of it! Congrats Jenn and Kam!!

Do you want to know the truth about what we do? Being wedding photographers has to be one of the most fun and rewarding professions out there. Our job is to hang out with lovely people like Claire and Jay on one of their favorite days ever, document it with our craft, laugh with them, have fun taking pictures, and later find out how much those photos mean to them. Doesn’t get much better than that. Here are a few of our favorite shots from their Wedding on Saturday. Thanks to all our fellow wedding pros for making it an awesome day, too!

It’s no secret how much we value the special relationships we have with our clients here at Found Light, but the professional relationships we develop with other vendors mean a lot to us too! After having photographed many events where @jewelleventsandcatering handled the cuisine, we finally got in touch with Myles for a few new projects together. I’ve always loved photographing food from the commercial side of things, so I’m always happy to be able to bring that into my wedding work. Here’s a photo of the desert course from the 2017 @lpzooball earlier this summer!

Oh no big deal, just another shot of Macee and Dylan being ridiculously cute again. Nothing to see here! 😉😁

This is Macee & Dylan. If you’d like to know what they’re like as people and as a couple, just look at this photo and it pretty much sums things up. Congrats guys!!

There's no way we couldn't post this one too, here's Suzanne and James on the bridge just outside of the modern wing. Couples never like being pulled away from the dance floor, but hopefully they'll forgive us after they see this shot. ;)

What a whirlwind of a day it was with Suzanne and James! But thanks to @lolabossbabe from @lolaeventpros, everything went as smooth as could be. Also a thank you to the folks at @highway61films for being cool and very helpful. We crammed in as many photos as we could, including a potential world record for bridesmaid photos, but it was definitely worth it. Congrats you guys! We shall meet again someday soon, either Vegas or Chicago!
